Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Baldwin Hills

We love going to Toscana--great family dinner spot...we had a wonderful time. The pizza is only OK, the salad very good, the angel hair past with meat balls and a very good sauce--terrific. Max the waiter excellent. Nothing to complain about at all. WE like eating at Toscana frequently and wil be back soon.

the dishes were quite inventive and not the sort of things we encounter in san diego restaurants. the squab pasta was amazingly tasty, the branzino perfectly prepared and delicious and the broccoli with olive oil, garlic and lemon couldn't have been better. the honeycomb ice cream and cannoli were just the right ending to our wonderful meal. the wine list was also inventive and the bottle of sicilian grillo blend paired perfectly with our dishes.

It was amazing as usual. We took a friend out to celebrate her birthday. She hadn’t been there in years . She love it and so did we . Thank you, Marcy and Dale

We moved into the area recently, and finally got to try this neighborhood gem. There are a few Rosti locations, most notably on Montana Avenue, but I like the vibe--and the food--better at this location. The menu is chock-full of typical choices done very well. Lots of delicious pastas, salads, mains (staples such as Chicken Piccata and Chicken Milanese), Panini, Known for their rosemary roasted potatoes, a great side with some roasted veggies added. The menu is large, which is sometimes a concern, but almost everything I've tried in my few visits so far has been excellent. Portions are large and nicely done, rustic, simple, no frills. Good bread and excellent soups. My husband had a very fresh and flavorful Minestrone and I enjoyed the Roasted Butternut Squash to bring in Fall. Best to go after traffic dies down, you'll find parking is easier, unless you can walk. Service was friendly, efficient and unobtrusive. Recommended!

Very nice experience. Great service! Small portions
